baseline: the slink milo works for you the potato milo doesn't, right ?
slink MILO version is (not sure) 2.0.35-c5.1
potato MILO version is 991007.

We'll upload newer bootfloppies for Alpha this week but this MILO problem
with eb164 is an upstream problem we don't have a fix for right now.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
